There is good news for those who did not get a ticket.  GQT Jackson Cinema 10 is starting to show this film four times a day through next Wednesday:  1pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10:20pm. 

I know that those who bought tickets early paid more than the ticket prices now being charged.  I hope you will see those few extra dollars as an investment in bringing good, faith-based movies to our town.  Had we not pre-sold the three showings at those prices, I don’t think the distributors could have convinced the theatres to bring the movie for more showings, so you helped us blaze a trail and support a good cause.  The making of Triumph of the Heart was financed completely by donations from Catholics like you!

Each time we think we are done with portrait appointments for the parish directory, we discover more people who want to be in the book who missed the deadline.  Therefore, we have added two more days and that will be it for this edition.  You can call or stop by the Queens Parish Office for portrait appointments on either Monday September 29 or Monday October 6.  You can also book your own appointment online:

Faith Formation began last Sunday.  Classes take place in Queens School from 10:30 – 11:45am.  We offer instruction for public school and home school children in Pre-K thru 8th grade.  There is a modest cost but financial aid is available.  Use the QR code to register or stop by the school office Sunday morning between 10 and 10:30. 

If you want a fun and easy way to learn more about the scriptures, consider taking part in the Bible Timeline:  the Story of Salvation, a new 24-week scripture series from Ascension Press.  The class is forming now. 

This was set to begin on September 30th but we are going to delay it a couple weeks as we just found out the whole series has been redone with new materials and we want to get it hot off the press.  If the materials arrive in time the Timeline Bible Study should begin on October 21st in Vincentian Hall at 6:30pm.

The class will be broken up into three 8-week sessions lasting until Spring of 2026.  This is a low-cost, easy way to learn more about the Bible using a mix of video learning, lecture and table discussion. 

St. Jerome who translated the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament into the Latin Vulgate in the 4th century said ‘ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ.’  We can understand our Catholic faith so much better when we see how biblical it is.

Come make friends.  Come make a difference in your faith.  Use the link below to register as so many others already have:
